Colorado Bicycle Accidents
As traffic volumes increase and distracted driving becomes more common, Colorado roads have grown increasingly dangerous for bicyclists. From busy city streets in Denver to suburban roads and scenic rural routes, cyclists face constant risks from inattentive or reckless motorists.
Bicycle crashes can be especially severe due to the lack of protection for riders. Injuries may include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal trauma, road rash, and other serious physical and emotional impacts. While weather and road conditions can contribute, most bicycle collisions result from human error.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), driver error contributes to approximately 94% of traffic accidents nationwide. In Colorado, this often involves drivers failing to check blind spots, making unsafe turns, running red lights, or being distracted by phones. For cyclists, even a single mistake by a motorist can result in life-altering injuries.
